Abstract

Eine Anordnung (1) für einen Inhalator (27) umfasst mindestens einen elektrischen Verdampfer (3, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) zum Verdampfen von dem Verdampfer (3, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) zugeführter Flüssigkeit (2) und zur Zugabe der verdampften Flüssigkeit (2) zu einem durch den Inhalator (27) strömenden Luftstrom (5) zur Bildung eines Aerosols (6) und eine Durchfluss-Messanordnung (100) zur Messung des Volumen- und/oder Massenstroms des durch den Inhalator (27) strömenden Luftstroms (5). Die Durchfluss-Messanordnung (100) umfasst eine Heizeinrichtung (63), einen stromabwärts der Heizeinrichtung (63) angeordneten nachgeschalteten Temperatursensor (53) zur Messung einer Luftausgangstemperatur und eine elektronische Steuerungsvorrichtung (29), wobei die elektronische Steuerungsvorrichtung (29) zur Ermittlung des Volumen- und/oder Massenstroms des durch den Inhalator (27) strömenden Luftstroms (5) auf der Grundlage einer Temperaturdifferenz zwischen der Luftausgangstemperatur und einer Lufteingangstemperatur des Luftstroms (5) stromaufwärts der Heizeinrichtung (63) eingerichtet ist.An arrangement (1) for an inhaler (27) comprises at least one electrical evaporator (3, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) for evaporating liquid (2) supplied by the evaporator (3, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) and for Addition of the vaporized liquid (2) to an air flow (5) flowing through the inhaler (27) to form an aerosol (6) and a flow measuring arrangement (100) to measure the volume and / or mass flow of the air through the inhaler (27 ) flowing air flow (5). The flow measuring arrangement (100) comprises a heating device (63), a downstream temperature sensor (53) arranged downstream of the heating device (63) for measuring an air outlet temperature and an electronic control device (29), the electronic control device (29) for determining the volume - And / or mass flow of the air flow (5) flowing through the inhaler (27) on the basis of a temperature difference between the air outlet temperature and an air inlet temperature of the air flow (5) upstream of the heating device (63).
